Terrace Marshall Jr. is leading the NFL


Captain Morgan

Recommended Posts

one of the most impressive things is he's done behind what many say is one of the greatest wide receiver classes of all time this year...and with Darnold only playing a little more than a half in our 3 games.   Pitts, Chase, Waddle, Smith, and Bateman who are all pass catchers drafted in the first round this year.  

That's just the rookies.  He is leading all pass catchers in the NFL in the preseason.  Which is not the regular season, but impressive still.

And he didn't have Brady's offensive mind until his last year...

But Marshall is showing up along with Chuba...they look more like 2nd year players.

I'll agree about TMJ...

I believe TMJ is a potential WR1 that many teams slept on because of how the situation with his injury and the decisions made by LSU staff booted him down the totem pole. I think his decision to opt out the remainder of his junior season probably didn't help his cause either. That being said, Brady really knew his potential, or at least strongly suspected it. That, and a bit of  fortuitous information regarding the Saints (if not outright gamesmanship and possibly payback), made him too good of an option to pass on in the second. 

Samuel, though dynamic, had to learn how to be a receiver. He's a good football player, if not somewhat injury prone, but I believe his ceiling was always good and not great like TMJ's. 

Admittedly, I hope I'm not letting homerism cloud my objectivity, but, yes, I think that TMJ can be a legitimately top tier receiver in the league.

I would say - he's a better receiver than Samuel.. Samuel was a better playmaker overall..

but im are splitting hairs.. obviously its much better to have him on a rookie deal than having to pay Samuel and let either DJ or Robby walk.. now we were able to lock down Robby and hopefully DJ isnt too far behind

Well the only reason Samuel was used was because CMC went down. Now we have CMC and a better WR. Not knocking Samuel though he got big bucks to play for Rivera again.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
